YouTube is definitely the new teacher and companion! If we are checking out fashion trends, new recipes, or looking for reviews of newly launched products or recently opened restaurants, or even for travel guides and tips – aside from going to Facebook – most of us watch YouTube videos. Imagine how even more uplifting your viewing would be if you watched YouTubers giving out good vibes for a positively-driven year?
Filipinos have been the world’s top internet video users since 2010 according to a survey conducted by global media agency Universal McCann. By the year 2016, 23 million Filipinos accessed and watched internet videos through mobile phones. Mobile viewing time also increased by 95 percent. Why do Filipinos love watching internet videos, especially on YouTube?
Consider these video viewing patterns:
- A study in 2017 showed that 53 percent of people who love watching online videos want to be entertained and relaxed.
- In fact, 95 percent of the most watched videos in 2018 were music videos.
- Twenty-one percent of online video watchers want to learn something new.
Since YouTube has become a powerful platform in engagement and promotion, Filipino online watchers can use it to attract positivity and inspiration this 2019. As the first part of our Chinese New Year gift to you, Good News Pilipinas put together this list of Filipino and Pinoy-at-heart men who champion Filipino pride and spread positive vibes online – so everyone can find both entertainment and new tips for a more positive Year of the Pig.
